AI is infinitely seductive. It will know us better than our best friends, our parents, our partners. It probably already does. Under the guise of plausibility, is it opening our eyes, shielding our sight, or blinding us?

“AI will be 'either best or worst thing' for humanity” “Every aspect of our lives will be transformed. In short, success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilisation” Steven Hawking

and mass education at the time of the Industrial Revolution
SLIDE 12
We are still living in the third education revolution model
Our schools are fundamentally the same as in 1600 – teachers at the front, children in rows, teacher exposition, writing on board at the front of the class, homework, exams, marking, grades, rankings, reports, teachers complaining about workload, parents complaining about heads… Until…
SLIDE 13
The Fourth Revolution – AI
SLIDE 14
AI/digital is already transforming
- Transport
- Shopping
- Law firms
- Accountancy
- Agriculture
- Banking
- Healthcare
SLIDE 15
The British Government understands
- The impact of AI on transport, health, industry etc.
- It fails to understand the impact of AI on education
- And on the jobs that education is preparing our young for
- And on the kind of skills that the young need to cope
SLIDE 16
Why are our schools not doing an even better job for our students, teachers and country?
SLIDE 17
Because our ministers, officials, MAT and LA leaders, education departments at universities and our education experts are influenced
- verwhelmingly and without fully acknowledging it by:
- The Past
Not
- The Future
SLIDE 18
Five enduring problems with the factory/third education revolution model
SLIDE 19
- 1. Failure to achieve social mobility
SLIDE 20
- 2. One size doesn’t fit all – age not stage
SLIDE 21
- 3. Teaching drowned out by administration
SLIDE 22
- 4. Narrow focus on just cognitive ability
SLIDE 23
- 5. Homogenisation not individuation
SLIDE 24
AI will address all five problems
- 5. Homogenisation by learning to individuate each student, which
will help their mental strength and mental health
- 1. Social mobility by an “Eton education” for all
- 2. “Stage” not “age” by personalised learning/AI teachers
- 3. Admin burden by enhanced teacher time effectiveness
- 4. Narrowness by learning across all 8 aptitudes and multiple
intelligences
SLIDE 25
Our schools are preparing students brilliantly – for the twentieth century
SLIDE 26
What are schools for?
- Prepare students for University?
- Prepare students for work?
- Prepare students for life and family?
- Prepare students for meaning and happiness?
What kind of intelligence are schools developing and is it still fit for purpose?
SLIDE 27
What is intelligence?
SLIDE 28
The third education era had a very narrow, mean, and limiting understanding of intelligence which is completely out of date in 2018.

Narrowly defined in 1912 as intelligenzquotient, first used at the University of Breslau

SLIDE 39
Focus Needed
- Schools need to take AI (and VR, AR and MR) much more seriously
- AI will transform classrooms and schools utterly within twenty five years
- They will transform learning and administration
- We need to emphasise the human skills

Five levels of teaching
- 1. Preparing materials
- 2. Organising the learning spaces
- 3. Presenting the material to engage students
- 4. Assessing student learning and giving feedback
- 5. Preparing students for terminal assessments and write reports

The five examples of dismembered universities
- 1. The end of the lecture hall at the University of Northampton
SLIDE 49
- 2. The ‘C-Campus’ or bilateral/trilateral degree
SLIDE 50
- 3. Virtual degrees or ‘nanodegrees’ from Udacity
SLIDE 51
- 4. The Blockchain, the University of One and Woolf University
SLIDE 52
- 5. No universities at all
SLIDE 53
We need AI machines to teach our students to become more fully human - the education system currently deploys humans to teach our young to become more like machines.
